The Nuge for POTUS?

[rondog]

Sorry...I think Obama has proven the presidency is not a job for amateurs.

Reagan was an amateur. He went from acting, to CA governor, then to WH, yes? Not your typical slimy professional politician like 99% of Congress and The Senate.

He would receive about as much support as Ross Perot or Ron Paul, guaranteeing a D win.
He would be much better served in a Governorship in his homestate of Michigan. Clean up Detroit, balance the budget and do what he can for Michigan.

But as an "Amateur" Pollytickian, I don't see how he could do any worse than the Halfrican we currently have in the office.
We know that our troops would be respected and a sense of exceptionalism would return to the nation.

Reagan had a lot of political experience...he was governor for 8 years and worked on many campaigns prior to that. His 8 years as governor is more than Obama's year and half in the senate and his presidency. Reagan had plenty of chief executive experience...Obama was a community organizer.

I agree that Nugent wouldn't stand a snowball's chance and would only cost the GOP precious votes. There's GOT to be some worthy Republicans, somewhere....

[hatidua]

If the goal is the stack the deck as deep as possible against the Republicans, then by all means, have Nugent run!

[rondog]

Maybe Nuge should run as a Democrat....

Allen West. Rumor has it he's running for a senate seat in Florida in 2014. Unfortunately, it's a long process. There's going to be a lot of short term pain in exchange for long term payout for the Republican party. It needs to be purged of the McCains and Boehners. That will take time.

I think there is more to being a good president than liking guns. I might not vote for someone over a single issue but I am not going to vote for someone over a single issue.

^^^ So, you might not vote for someone who's anti-gun, but you might vote for someone who's anti-gun.

From what I know/have seen of AW, I'd like to see him run. He's always been on my short list, not that I'm very political anyway. But he seems to have good sense.
